{{{Cindy and Julia}}} I hope you are both feeling better today.

What is even happening?

Thanks, sj.

{{{Julia}}} A spiking fever could definitely cause that, Cindy.
Yeah, at this point a stomach virus makes no sense. She didn't eat much yesterday, but she did eat some. She had crushed ice early in the morning, and crackers later on. She had toast around 2pm. She had chicken noodle soup around 7pm. She drank water, and ginger ale, and kept it all in without incident. She then got sick at 5am. It doesn't compute. Besides, this morning, she has no appetite, but says her belly feels fine.

Generally, doctors say not to wake a kid in the night to treat a fever, but I think my little girlfriend is going to be woken around midnight, tonight for a dose of something or other, just to see if it makes a difference.

I am having HORRIBLE mommy guilt, because I didn't wake for either incident. The night before last, I fell asleep on the couch, so I can see why. This morning, I was in bed, right next to Scott. I told him he should wake me. I'm trying to figure out why I don't feel grateful to have slept through it.

I'm trying to decide if I should cancel my dentist appointment for this afternoon. I am afraid of driving and of falling on the ice. I called TCG to see how bad it was out there, but he didn't call me back yet.

Because books.

I am, once again, glad to be a girl in a house full of boys. There's another foot of snow in the driveway -- the front end of my FiL's car is completely gone, due to the snow and how it drifted. We have to get out to the grocery store today, but I'm not going to be the one shoveling.

I feel awful for the guys, though. Especially since we're supposed to get more lake effect snow tonight, and they'll probably have to shovel all over again tomorrow.

{{Cindy and family}} No mommy guilt allowed! I hope you and Julia get some relief and rest today.

I feel awful for the guys, though.

Ah, they'll get all buff and stuff from the shovel work out.

Yeah, well, I'm just hoping my gorgeous, loving 42-year-old husband WHO NEVER EXERCISES and refuses to watch what he eats doesn't have apoplexy.

I felt so guilty when Dave was shovelling yesterday and this morning, especially since he didn't bitch and complain about it, which is what my stepfather did when I lived at home.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's cold here. I am at school again after two days off. I am totally reorganizing my room, because I got new, tall bookshelves, but it's a PITA because, you know, TEACHING.

And I have grades due, and my throat hurts.

EDIT: Oh, and I think I'm a broad.

Cindy, is the main disease something in the cold and flu family? The dripping from the nose can irritate the stomach lining when you're lying down and make you throw up. I did that when I was a kid before they discovered how bad my allergies were.

My sister was staying late at the office to make sure her son got home first to shovel. We really don't want her to do it. She broke her ankle last year slipping on her deck hanging Christmas lights. And she has had a knee replacement. She still shovels, because never ending battle, but my nephew tries to keep it done as much as possible.

That icy mix stuff is crazy heavy to shovel. Lots of be safe thoughts headed in a northerly direction.
